CortexCortex Cor"tex (k?r"t?ks), n.; pl. Cortices (-t?-s?z). [L.,
bark. Cf. Cork.]
1. Bark, as of a tree; hence, an outer covering.
2. (Med.) Bark; rind; specifically, cinchona bark.
3. (Anat.) The outer or superficial part of an organ; as, the
cortex or gray exterior substance of the brain. VortexVortex Vor"tex, n.; pl. E. Vortexes, L. Vortices. [L.
vortex, vertex, -icis, fr. vortere, vertere, to turn. See
Vertex.]
1. A mass of fluid, especially of a liquid, having a whirling
or circular motion tending to form a cavity or vacuum in
the center of the circle, and to draw in towards the
center bodies subject to its action; the form assumed by a
fluid in such motion; a whirlpool; an eddy.
2. (Cartesian System) A supposed collection of particles of
very subtile matter, endowed with a rapid rotary motion
around an axis which was also the axis of a sun or a
planet. Descartes attempted to account for the formation
of the universe, and the movements of the bodies composing
it, by a theory of vortices.
3. (Zo["o]l.) Any one of numerous species of small
Turbellaria belonging to Vortex and allied genera. See
Illustration in Appendix.
Vortex atom (Chem.), a hypothetical ring-shaped mass of
elementary matter in continuous vortical motion. It is
conveniently regarded in certain mathematical speculations
as the typical form and structure of the chemical atom.

Vortex wheel, a kind of turbine. vortex atomsVortex theory Vortex theory (Chem. & Physics)
The theory, advanced by Thomson (Lord Kelvin) on the basis of
investigation by Helmholtz, that the atoms are vortically
moving ring-shaped masses (or masses of other forms having a
similar internal motion) of a homogeneous, incompressible,
frictionless fluid. Various properties of such atoms (
vortex atoms) can be mathematically deduced. Vortex filament
Vortex filament Vor"tex fil"a*ment
A vortex tube of infinitesimal cross section.
Vortex fringe
Vortex fringe Vor"tex fringe
The region immediately surrounding a disk moving flatwise
through air; -- so called because the air has a cyclic motion
as in vortex ring.
Vortex line
Vortex line Vortex line
A line, within a rotating fluid, whose tangent at every point
is the instantaneous axis of rotation as that point of the
fluid.
Vortex ring
Vortex ring Vortex ring (Physics)
A ring-shaped mass of moving fluid which, by virtue of its
motion of rotation around an axis disposed in circular form,
attains a more or less distinct separation from the
surrounding medium and has many of the properties of a solid.
